Ok guys, I’ve been looking into Malala Yousafzai’s charity, the Malala Fund and I have some questions.

According to its 2024–2025 financial reports:

Revenue: $16.48 MILLION
Expenses: $23.34 MILLION
Net assets: $42.97 MILLION

That means the charity spent approximately $6.86 MILLION MORE than it brought in‼️

And then there are the executive compensation figures:

CEO: Approximately $372,000
Chief Adviser: Approximately $320,000
COO: Approximately $241,000

The charity’s tax filings also disclose FIRST CLASS or PRIVATE travel for officers or key employees. ✈️ WTF?!

But here’s what I’d like to know:

How much of that $18.94 MILLION in program spending actually reaches girls and local educational organizations?

How much goes toward salaries, consultants, advocacy campaigns, and travel?

What measurable educational results can donors independently verify?

And why did a charity with $16.48 million in annual revenue spend over $23 million that year?!? 🤯

When you’re raising millions in the name of educating vulnerable girls, I don’t think asking where the money goes is unreasonable.

Charity should be about the cause, not the celebrity attached to it.

It now makes sense why Malala looked so comfortable dining at Claridge’s. Malala lives a life like a rockstar.

Two of the world's smartest grifters fooled millions to make millions, especially under the slogan of Afghan women's and girls' education.

Please everyone report @MalalaFund to @ChtyCommission in the UK and to the IRS in the US (@IRSnews). Go to their sites now and report it.

Just checked grifter @Malala’s Instagram. In every photo, wears a diff outfit costing over £1,000 she has numerous photos. She’s a nonprofit founder—where does she get money? Of course, making millions in name of Afghan women/girls, living a luxury life paying nothing to Afghans.

@Eve_Barlow Have you tried crying harder? Also crazy isnt it that those who committed gen0cide are claiming to be the victims of trauma. I used to always wonder how can single nation take out so many prophets. As the saying goes on, you are offended by everything and ashamed of nothing. Sad!

If you believe in the existence biological racial differences, you are a racist.

Hope that clears it up.

[Bretbug Stephens ｜ブレットバグ・スティーブンス @Isrexit]

@PriyamvadaGopal @RichardDawkins Needless to say the obvious but they got exposed and their malicious attempts failed, which is not surprising as they were "scientists" as much as @realDonaldTrump is "educated" (I personally know he and his family are super envious of those from Ivy Leagues hence the attacks).

[Bretbug Stephens ｜ブレットバグ・スティーブンス @Isrexit]

@PriyamvadaGopal I think the ground work for this race-ism in science was laid by nut job pseudo scientists like @RichardDawkins and fellow nut cases who used to call themselves "militant atheists" in the late 2000s who weaponised pseudo evolutionary biology to attack and scapegoat Muslims.

@PriyamvadaGopal When he challenged them (the grievance and appeal went on for 6+ months) the department resorted to evidence tempering and threatening him with disciplinary action and suspending pay.

[Bretbug Stephens ｜ブレットバグ・スティーブンス @Isrexit]

@PriyamvadaGopal got called “disingenuous” by the deputy head and gaslighted by the HR when he raised grievance.

[Bretbug Stephens ｜ブレットバグ・スティーブンス @Isrexit]

@PriyamvadaGopal He truly is despicable. Everyone in his inner circle knows that for the eugenics he pushes, “white” race is not at the top for him, it’s another “race” he is part of, but uses “white” to propagate his racist views without being questioned on his racism by mainstream institutions.

@shiblizaman @PastorJohnHagee Cant wait for a world with no boomers and no borders! We will reinstate equality and justice in the true sense and do away with all the evils of the most self absorbed generation whose only contributions are financial crashes, climate crisis and pandemics to name a few!

@shiblizaman @Adi13 I have been following you since your 2014 FB days, and you my sir remain undefeated & irreplaceably the best. Keep up the amazing work, the world definitely needs intellectual muslims like you who can neither be bought, distracted or impressed by anything this world has to offer!

Nope. Historically, the Jews never held Jerusalem for any significant amount of time compared to all the other nations that lived and ruled there.

For roughly 3500 years --Yes, say that figure out loud: THREE THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED YEARS-- in what is called the Proto-Canaanite period, Jerusalem belonged to the Canaanites who worshipped many gods and godesses. It wasn't until 2000BC do scholars find a reference that debatably refers to Jerusalem. The word is "Rusalimum" in texts of Egypt's Middle Kingdom. Scholars believe that the name is a consecration to "Shalim" a Canaanite deity of the netherworld from Ugaritic scriptures. 

The territory passed from the Canaanites to the Egyptians, ultimately. So here we have Egyptians and Canaanites being the original inhabitants of Jerusalem for 3,500 years before the Jews ever conquered it. 

Jerusalem was taken by King David in 1010BC and lost to the Egyptians in 925BC. Jehoash of Israel briefly recaptured it in 786BC but then lost it to the Assyrians in 740BC. That's just 131 years, just about as long as the Crusaders' rule of Jerusalem in the Middle Ages. 

The Jewish Hasmoneans re-took it in 140BC under Simon Thassi but then lost it to the Persian Seleucides in 134. That's 6 more years of Jewish rule. Due to a Seleucid civil war, Judeah incidentally became independent in the chaos in 116BC. In 87BC the Jewish Hasmonean king executed 800 Jews for sedition. In 47BC they lost Jerusalem again, this time to the Romans. That's 69 years of rule.

In total, off and on the Jews ruled Jerusalem for MAYBE 206 years.

The Pre-Constantine Romans ruled it for 250 years.

The Christian Byzantines ruled it for 304 years.

The Muslims ruled it under the Rashidun, Umayyad and Abbasid Empires for 332 years.

The Muslim Fatimids ruled it for 129 years.

The Crusaders took it from the Muslims and held it for 88 years.

The Muslim ruler Saladin conquered it in 1187 and his descendents held it for 63 years.

The Muslim Mamluk Empire ruled it for 236 years.

The Ottomans ruled it for 401 years.

That's 206 years of Jewish rule.

392 years of Christian rule.

And over EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS of Muslim rule. 

And before any of them, the Canaanites and the Egyptians lived and ruled there for 3,500 years. That’s longer than anyone.

And who has the largest concentration of Canaanite DNA today? Levantine Arabs.

“We found that present-day Lebanese derive 93% of their ancestry from a Canaanite-related population.”
[Haber, M. et al., Continuity and Admixture in the Last Five Millennia of Levantine History, American Journal of Human Genetics, Vol. 101, Issue 2, 2017, p. 278]

“The Canaanite-related ancestry is widespread among Levantine populations but is often accompanied by later gene flow from steppe, Arabian, or African sources.”
[Haber et al., AJHG, 2017, p. 278]

“Palestinians, Syrians, and Druze all retain significant Bronze Age Levantine ancestry but show more genetic heterogeneity than Lebanese Christians.”
[Ibid., Extended Data Figures S3–S4]

"We show that present-day Lebanese derive most of their ancestry from a Canaanite-related population, which therefore implies substantial genetic continuity in the Levant since at least the Bronze Age." [Source: Continuity and Admixture in the Last Five Millennia of Levantine History from Ancient Canaanite and Present-Day Lebanese Genome Sequences]

Woah, “Iranian girls left for school and did not return home” - but why? What happened? Did they just run away? Were they abducted by aliens? Are they alive or dead? Who harmed them?

And “the parents in Gaza buried their children beneath the rubble of their classrooms”?! Wth! Why? Were they buried alive?! And if they were dead, who killed them? The parents?

Strange, because when it comes to Afghan girls you are so clear about who their enemy is. It’s so easy for you to point to the Taliban as villains in the stories of these girls, but who’s the enemy, who are the villains in the just as important stories of these Iranian and Palestinian girls?

The “hard truth” is actually this: you know very well that US-Israeli strikes killed these 168 Iranian girls in their school.
And that Israel has murdered hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children.
But you can’t even name, let alone villainise the US - your paymaster, and Israel - it’s arm in the “ME”.

Besides, you literally manufactured consent for these strikes with your “free Iranian girls” propaganda tweets.
So this was just a job well-done and well-paid, as far as you’re concerned.

But now you are being forced to say something because of your undeserved role as some global ambassador for women and girls.

People, I’m telling you, this woman becomes more and more irrelevant as a peace ambassador and more and more complicit in imperialist war crimes with each passing day. Please stop falling for this shit.

@shiblizaman @CBSNews If a state is born out out of mass dispossessions/de*th and on exploitation of labour/resources, you can predict the trajectory it will follow / how it will operate, based on which you can come to high probability conclusion how it will end too. "Hope" will become immaterial.

@Eve_Barlow One day in the very near future, from the river Thames to the Arabian Sea, our Palestine will be free and this nightmare will be finally over for good! On that day humanity will rejoice.
